Awake
SADS Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

We are
We are awake
As one

We're all
We're all the same
In death

It's such a great way to die

An obnoxious way to die
A selfish way to die

Overall Meaning

The song "Awake" by SADS is a melancholic reflection on isolation and loneliness. The lyrics describe being "still awake" amidst a world that is "ever gray" and "ever spread." The singer finds themselves on a "solitary hill" where the only thing blooming is a daisy, and they are left with nothing but their own thoughts and feelings. The cold wind brings a sense of detachment and detachment from the world around them. They imagine themselves taking flight and leaving behind those who do not understand them, yet they cannot help feeling drawn back to the place they call home.

The second verse continues the theme of solitude, with the singer finding themselves on an unmanned hill where the only thing they can do is be true to themselves. They are still awake and struggling with their sense of purpose, wondering how much they can overcome and how much they can love. In the end, they resolve to take their own path in life, but they are still awake and have a long journey ahead of them.

The lyrics of "Awake" by SADS are open to interpretation, but they seem to express a sense of disconnection from the world and a longing for a deeper connection. The metaphor of the "solitary hill" and the daisy in bloom reflects the singer's feeling of being alone in a world that is indifferent to their struggles. The lyrics are haunting and melancholic, but they also convey a sense of hope and resilience in the face of adversity.
